You don't want to get it...that's the basic issue...its easier to bash Bush than to look at the facts.... The facts are that the Constitution sets up three co-equal branches of government.The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Each branch has certain powers delineated to it by the Constitution. No Congressionally passed statute can override a specific power granted to the President just as no Executive Order could overide a lawfully passed piece of legislation. Here we have a case where a statute passed by Congress impinges on a power specifically granted to the Executive by the Constitution. The Constitution prevails. Bush is not bound by FISA in exercising his Constitutional war powers.... J.
